What were you known for in high school?

I was known for making people laugh. I was also known as the smart kid who never applied himself. Teachers pleaded with me to take it seriously, and I wish I had. I'm also known as the guy who was flashed by a teacher. She did that to another student, and he turned her in. She lost her job. She was a new teacher, and I actually thought she was another student. She was very young. The local news showed up to cover the story.

Most likely to write a novela.

I was introverted not overly talkative. I was bullied often my overall image was just not there. I carried so much in my backpack and not going to lie I was overweight. Teachers liked me/students saw me as the goodygood.

I wasn't known by many until they needed of my nerdy over achiever self for something.

Sigh- I'm glad that chapter ended.
Kids can be cruel and since then so much has changed mentally, emotionally and physically.

@iQuit I went through that as well. I think it made me more of a better person. I'm also bigger and stronger than the bullies are now, so it's fun when I see them out.

@ChildOfTheWasteland Not going to lie- Odds are not many have seen me since then. I'm glad you are in a better place now as well.
Teens can be cruel. Fortunately, everyone has to grow up
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and wiser for it (though it hurts)

@iQuit Thank you! I'm actually in a worse place in other ways, but at least the bullying is over. I now have a son, and I worry about him getting bullied.

@ChildOfTheWasteland I've heard teaching your kids to be comedians can help them out. [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTOKHv4wFFQ]
Kids will be kids
hopefully though your son will be ok. 🙂
